Bend a stabilizer jack yet?  I replaced the stock stabilizers with scissor jacks so I can level and stabilize.  Only had to drill two holes.  Two of the holes the original jacks use only need enlarged.  Original jacks were moved to the front.  Very stable like this.

Go to Jeff Couch's RV Nation to get yours - http://www.couchsrvnation.com/

The stabilizer jacks are not meant to be used as levelers.  Their only purpose is to keep the camper from rocking.  So, hardly any weight on them.

I know, but most jacks are strong enough to at least take some weight.  From what I've heard most install the scissor jacks for that reason.  You can actually lift it off the ground with them if you wanted.

Happy camping.
